Picked up this pair from Alex today. The male is 12" and from John O'Malley's collection, obtained from Jeff on xmas eve 2006. The female (10") is wild....

A few pictures without flash....they were in the tank for less than an hour and still recovering from the bumpy ride....but check out the color!!! :nilly::nilly::nilly:

Oh and they make beautiful babies....ask Sean and JD :D

Congrats. They are gorgeous. This is just one more reason why I hate you....jk.
 
Absolutely beautiful, congratulations.
 
Great pick up Peter. I don't think you will have any issues with them. Mine do not really do anything more then a little chasing of each other. They a rediculous pigs. They are worse then any oscar about eating. They do indeed make some great babies!!! Pretty cool to see the parents of mine.
